“We felt it would be important for a place that had stability at QB, coach, offensive line coach,” McCartney says. “Not for one year, but the next few years. We wanted a QB that spits the ball out quickly, because we all see QBs who hold onto the ball, take sacks, and then you go blame the young blocker.” Not a good fit with the Bills situation, unfortunately...

Nuance is in the eye of the beholder...

Insert Kiper or any of the other draft 'experts' into that quote and think of it in terms of how they operate leading up to the draft. Now look at how accurate those guys are after "checking in with everyone." Still think Joe B has a handle on what's really happening?

Yeah, that Flacco guy's a bum. How dare he keep Taylor nailed to the bench...

Excellent. Now all we need is for Suh's game to drop off because of the Florida heat (he's an Oregon boy, so 90-degree plus days in September and early October will be pretty uncomfortable) and Tanny to buckle under pressure from the big contract...

If more members of the 'media' actually worked hard and came up with relevant information (or even well-reasoned opinions, based on more than what they had to eat for lunch that day)--rather than spitting out speculative spit balls to generate clicks--I think there would be less need to question their work product...

Fixed...

Favre was never a mentor. He was way too competitive and howled at the moon when Green Bay decided to go with Rogers in 2008... http://www.guyhut.com/nfl/brett-favre-packers-mentor-aaron-rodgers/

Rogers...

INcredible...

Stats are meaningless without context. How many of those targets are the same down and distance? Most of Hogan's were within ten yards of the LOS, which I'm sure was not the case with Goodwin...

Huh. That didn't seem to be a problem for Joe in landing his WKBW gig. Go figure...

14 minutes, 57 seconds...14 minutes, 56 seconds...14 minutes, 55 seconds...

Agreed. At the end of the day, he has to put food on the table and do what's best for his family. He said many times that he enjoyed being a Bill and would have loved to stay. But the reported $3 million he was asking for just wan't going to work...

15 minutes....14 minutes, 59 seconds...14 minutes, 58 seconds...

Wake me when training camp starts...

...Wake me when camp opens.

Back in the day, when Sabres players were getting on their bus waiting to go to the airport you could have sworn the thing was on fire by the amount of cigarette smoke coming out the windows. The French Connection statue at the FNC should have butts hanging out of the guy's mouths to be truly accurate.... http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20101007/SPORTS02/310079968&template=printart "Perreault will forever be known in these parts as the greatest player in franchise history and the centerpiece of the French Connection. Little did fans know he was a chain smoker whose pregame meal was five cups of coffee and a pack of cigarettes. His hours before playing the Canadiens were often spent chatting with Guy Lafleur, his rival. "It was literally a pack,"Rip said. "People don't believe me when I tell them these guys had their own ashtrays on the road with their numbers on them. Gilbert, Jerry Korab, Rene [Robert], Rico [Rick Martin], all of them. Now, they have six beers [for the entire team] after a game. Back then, it was more like six cases."

Absolutely. He gets to choose a very good team--one that's close to his home town--with a great OL, so there's little pressure for him to be a difference maker from day one. That's about a good as it gets in the NFL...

Nice obit from the Memphis newspaper... http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/local-news/king-of-the-blues-blues-legend-bb-king-dead-at-age-89 Late in life Mr. King would look back philosophically on his journey. Even after 80 years, he would return to the simple words of advice his mother gave him on her deathbed. “She said, ‘If you be nice to people, there will always be somebody nice to take care of you, to look after you.’ And, you know, that’s the truth. Every time it seemed like I was going to get in trouble, there was always someone to talk for me, to speak for me. Over the years, it’s turned out that I’ve always had friends that I didn’t even know I had,” said Mr. King. “I think about everything that’s happened and sometimes I want to say I was lucky. You know, I believe in God; I believe that maybe the great one smiled down on me. But I also thought I had a little talent. I didn’t think I was the best, but I had a little talent. But mostly, I was a pretty good guy.”

No sense crying over spilled milk...

Sad news. Still, he lived a great life and now has infinite time to play Lucille...

Thanks. Thats's the most interesting comment I've read in this thread so far...

Well, if those voters can ellect an absolute fraud / poseur like Elizabeth Warren, then Tommy Boy is a shoe in....
